Is The Tapes Team Fucking With Howard? Lots Of HowardTV Clips Lately on The Shuffle.

Noticed that the Shuffle has included clips about HowardTV every day I've listened lately. There have been several involving Gange and also some where Howard is bragging about having his own TV channel and gushing about how great the programming is. They also played the incident where Howard threw a fit because Doug Goodstein's daughter sat in his chair. Pretty funny because Wiggy said it's stupid to take photos of someone posing in various places (just like he now does with Beth).

It really was terribly put together.
HTV just looked cheap and poorly produced and was edited badly.
No wonder nobody wanted to pay for it

If the HSS hadn't gone to shit, plenty of people would have been happy to continue paying for HTV regardless of the production quality, including me. I cancelled the week they aired the show where Robin walked out and it was censored from the episode.

This past September, Howard TV â€“ a cable on-demand service that launched in 2006 â€“ very quietly stopped airing new content. It ends completely on December 16th.

Although it never got much media attention, Howard TV was a pretty amazing channel. It aired unedited, uncensored, commercial-free video from Howard's interviews, even though some segments (like the small penis contest and Richard Christie drinking beer out of his anus) would have been a little less gag-inducing with a little bit of censorship. They also made wonderful mini-documentaries about members of the Wack Pack (the home visit with Wendy the Retard was particularly inspired) and Q&As with members of the entire staff.

I can't imagine tolerating the E! show or Howard TV. You're literally watching something you already heard, no wonder he thinks his fans are idiots. Dude invented recycled programming. A network of reruns.

Now a live feed, that would be cool. But any show I've ever watched, "oh, hey, I remember this one. Gee, Howard's wearing a gay shirt. Robin looks fat. Artie looks fat. Hm, did they just cut out 16 minutes for no reason, I could've swore... oh, well, what else is on?"

would have been a little less gag-inducing with a little bit of censorship.

Nah, Howard fought long and hard to keep 100% of all gay content intact, censorship was reserved for important things like Rich Cronin letting the world know that the founder of the 2000s Boy Bands craze, Lou Pearlman, was really a flaming pedophile like we all assumed or Artie calling Sal's kid a fag at a roast.

They got my money for a couple of years, along with several friends of mine. They all tapped out after a year or so and my dumb ass hung in there until after Artie got canned....what a waste of money, Howard TV might be Stern's greatest swindle of all time as far as ripping off his fans...

While Rich Cronin is indefensible censorship, probably the worst thing I can't ever recall hearing replayed is the Artie/Gilbert rip on Obama.... The one time I really remember hearing fear in Robin and Howard's voice.
